for leaving me hanging. I know you saw the cops comin’,” she continued before addressing Miss Wayne again. “Do you got it or not?”
“You know I do, Miss Daffany, but won’t you come with me. I want to help you. Let me take care of you.”
“I don’t need any help.” She told him rubbing her arms. “I just need some money to go to work tomorrow. I’ll pay you back plus the money for bail.”
“Daffany, won’t you just go with him? Nobody came out here to give you no money for you to get back on the streets!” I yelled. “Don’t be as stupid as you look!”
“Why don’t you mind your business?!” the girl said to me.
“Uh…honey…don’t get fucked up.” Miss Wayne told her. “Trust me. I’m saving your life and your narrow ass.”
“Please, Miss Wayne.” Daffany said, interrupting his attention off the bitch. “I need you. Please help me. Pleeeeaaasse .”
Miss Wayne looked at her, and then at me. I turned away. He and I both knew what she wanted the money for. So if he wanted to give it to her I wanted no part of it. He reached in his purse and handed her a wad of cash. Before he released it into her grip he said, “If you need me you can call me. I’m serious, baby. No matter what you’re going through, you have to know that I will ALWAYS be there for you.”
“I know,” she said hugging him. “I’ll pay you back every penny you’ll see!”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.” He said rubbing his hand over her belly. “You know it’s not too late for the baby? The baby can be born healthy without the dis-.”
“Don’t say that!” Daffany yelled, looking at Carmen. I knew then that she didn’t tell her she was infected because she stopped Miss Wayne before he could say disease . “Just let me live my life.” With that she was gone with the bitch out the door.
Miss Wayne broke out in tears. I never seen him cry like that in all my years of knowing him. I was hurt because he was hurt. I love Miss Wayne like a brother, but stronger. This shit was not fair to him and he did not deserve it!
“Miss Wayne…you got to pull yourself together.” I told him rubbing his back. “We can’t help her if she doesn’t want it.”
“But I’m worried, Parade.” He must’ve been devastated because he didn’t say Miss before my name and that pissed me off even more. He always took care of me so I decided to look after him for a change even if he didn’t want me to. “Give me a sec.” I ran toward the door.
“Where you goin?” he called out.
“I’ll be back.”
I ran out the door and caught up to them quick. It wasn’t hard considering they were on foot.
“Daffany!” I yelled. They both turned around.
“What do you want?” Daffany said pausing for me.
When I got up on her, I smacked the living shit out of her.
Her fiend , I mean friend stepped like she was going to make a move.
“Try it, bitch and I’ll stomp you back to the first day you fucked your life up!” I promised pointing my finger in her face.
She remained still but crossed her arms over her chest.
“Now let me tell you something, Daffany. You can be mad at me all you want. As a matter of fact, I understand your hate towards me, but that man back there loves you. You walked all over his heart and left me to pick up the pieces and I hate you for it. If you want to smoke that shit up its fine by me. In fact,” I paused reaching in my purse dropping over four hundred dollars in cash on the ground. “Take mine too, but don’t call him no more! Let him get over this shit cause you and I both know you ain’t gonna change. And I promise, if I find out you’re using him, I’ll kill you! And I mean it!”
She bent down picked up the money and wiped a tear from her face.
“Damn, I guess you finally know who you are,” she said looking at the drug money my husband earned in her hands. “Like husband like wife. Don’t worry, I’ll stay out of his life, and yours too. Consider me as dead as Sky. That should make
